Bodies of people are being thrown on the air. Screaming for help and crying in pain is what overwhelms the area. Even the fear strickened face of the people fighting earlier lost all trace of courage in front of the zombie wolf.
" [ Light Spear: Traceless Thrust ]!!!! " A man wearing a silver light armor attacked.
The spear is being held by both his hand and is being thrusted forward and then like phantom images, his body become blurred due to his fast movements.
The weirdest thing about his attack is that he only performed a single thrust but dozens of light spears rained down hitting the wolf's body.
* AwooooOOoo *
The wolf howled seeming to be very dissatisfied on the insolent human who dared to hurt it's body.
Suddenly, the wolf disappered in front of the Spearman.
Then, one moment, a headless man stood in place while his blood rains down on the ground.
The other people seeing this scene become even more panic. The spearman was a peak tier 3 awakened and a member of one of the strongest team in the base. But even with his strength, he was only a side dish for the wolf.
" Aaah! Run faster! "
" Where are the tier 4 awakened?! Why are they not fighting this monster?! "
* AwooooOOOOO!!!!! *
The wolf continue to hunt it's preys while the remaining zombies also started to march towards Pandora.
With the zombie wolf leading the vanguard, the advance of the zombie horde become faster due to killing the resisting humans.
* Beep *
*Beep *
" This is the frontline! A zombie wolf is present! I repeat, a zombie wolf is present! "
" Please let all units retreat. The higher ups will be organizing a counter measure against the variant zombie. Let all capable people return to join the final line of defense. The base chief and all tier 4 awakened are already stationed there. "
Hearing that all tier 4 awakened were already assembled, the leader saw a glimpse of hope.
' We must not fall here! '
Immediately, with the guidance of ' overseer ', the surviving teams were able to pull back and retreat from the zombie horde.
But because of the presence of the Variant Zombie wolf, alot of evolutionaries and awakened were killed as they tried to stop the wolf.
Their sacrifices were not in vain but the lost is still too much for the base.
Losing too many people in this zombie attack will make the base weaker even if they survive the crisis.

It's been 2 days since the start of Adam's training and he had been in hell.
' I'm gonna die at this rate! '
Being drained for 5 hours is like a torture. Even if his body want to say no, Arthus is adamant on him continuing to release his powers.
' Arthus had become pure evil! Who abducted the real caring Arthus?! '
" My [ lord ]... training will start... after an hour. "
Arthus, why so diligent?
Make it in two hours please.
They don't know what happened but as they draw closer to Pandora, the amount of zombies seems to have increased.
And Arthus, the master instructor, decided to use these innocent wandering zombies as Adam's training dummies.
Adam even fought more than a dozen tier 3 zombies already.
There was even one who can breath fire. But sadly for that zombie breathing dude, one [ flame bullet ] had end his fiery life.
And now, Arthus is preparing Adam for another grinding moment.
The training with the zombies are actually not that bad. His experience is increasing a lot and he even gathered 7 tokens already.
Progress: Tier 3 intermediate [ buffed ( tier 4 intermediate ) ] 56078/100000.
If this continue, in a week or so, he will become a tier 3 advance.
Gil and the others are also doing good. Tomorrow, the tier 1 evolutionary members will be eligible to use another batch of evolutionary serums and advance to tier 2.
In this world, becoming stronger is a priority so having stronger people around you is a good thing.
The team Abyss is currently inside the car and is doing nothing. But whenever they see some zombies, they will quickly eliminate it.
With Arthus, the guys are becoming more proficient in fighting zombies even without proper weapons.
' Hays, I guess I need some weapons for them. It's. ot good if they always rely on their fists to smash zombies. '
It's not that Gil and others don't have anything they can use. But the things they own are pretty random.
Some have machete like uncle Jackson but most only have knives and some pitiful amount of bullets on their guns.
So relying on it is not effective on the long run.
The system is very generous, should I use some tokens for it? But can they even be used for others?
Adam had never tried wishing to use tokens for others so he is not sure.
Well, let's try one.
' System, my mother, the most beautiful of all existence, please bless me with your grace and pity. '
" System, activate one token. "
Let's try one first. If it doesn't work, forget it.
Ding!
" Activating one token. Congratulation for th host for acquiring [ Magic Long sword ].
[ Platinum Long Sword ]
*Can be bound to [ Scepter of the King ]
* [ Infinite Production ] can be applied.
Definition: Extremely sharp, indestructible. Passive skill ( basic swordmanship )."
Oh? Infinite production can be applied?!
Is not that Adam didn't try using infinite production on [ Fang of Leviathan ] but for some reason, it didn't work.
But now.
He can have infinite amount of [ Platinum Long Sword ] and with a passive skill at that!
But what does bounding it with [ Scepter of the King ] does?
[ Scepter of the King ] was a debuff item making my enemies weaker.
There was no description for anything like this.
A hidden effect?
Maybe.
[ Scepter of the King ]: Once bounded, the owner will exude a natural deterrent force to enemies having a debuff of 25 % in overall abilities. ( debuff is retained even if the host keep the scepter in storage )
But anyways, let's try it.
So first, Adam took a [ Platinum Long Sword ] and used [ Infinite Production ] on it.
Then..
" System, bind [ Platinum Long Sword ] to [ Scepter of the King ]. "
Ding!
" Scanning item.... [ Platinum Long Sword ]..
Bound successfully.
[ Platinum Long Sword ] can now be used by people with 90 points of loyalty. "
So that's the use of it.
Pretty cool huh.
Adam is smiling right now. Who would not?
He can have weapons for Gil and others and Arthus can focus on teaching them in a single tyoe of weapon now.
But this can only be equipped by people who have 90 points of loyalty. So, even if he have unlimited number of them, the people who can use it is only a few.
Let's check on my teams loyalty points first.
The last time he checked it, their points are actually high. Who knows if there is anyone among them who reached 90 points and can use the [ Platinum Long Sword ] already.
Okay, opening [ loyalty branch ]...
Checking for affiliated people... hmm..
Gil: 95 points
Jackson: 93 points
Arnold: 93 points
Michael: 94 points
Samantha: 92 points
Anna: 93 points
This?!
Already?!
Wow...
Are these people perhaps that gullible.
No, Gil is obviously smart and cautious the first time I met him.
Are the people around me being corrupted by stupidity.
How can they trust someone so quickly where they reach the point of life and death?!
Well....
At least they can already use the sword.
But still...
If it wasn't me who they offer such loyalty, these people are done for.
In this apocalyptic world, who besides me is the purest and most trustworthy person.
One day I'll teach these guys not to have so much trust on other people.
Hays, why is being a team captain so tiring.
Look I even need to worry about who my team members will trust in the future.
Hmmph!
After another hour, Team Abyss who are driving their cars are seeing more zombies along the road.
Even to the point that in their line of sight there are clusters of them.
" They seems to be moving in one direction. " Jaya said as she peels an apple bigger than her head making cute little strips for Adam to eat.
They are at the top of the delivery truck but a barrier wae set up by Jaya so no need to worry about their apples flying.
" This is not one of those zombie hordes on novels right? " Adam asked.
" Master, with the amount of zombies we encountered during the past days, encountering a zombie horde is very possible. And the Northern region is supposed to be a reclaimed area by the Army so the zombies should have been fewer. But now, we already encountered thousands alone in this trip. "
After awhile, the cars already needed to stop driving because the zombies are pretty dense already and its getting darker.
If the zombies ahead are even more, they would forget about getting sleep.
Let's clear them all up first!
" Guys, I have something for you. "
Adam then distributed 6 [ Platinum Long Sword ] to each of his people.
Gil and others seeing the weapons provided by the Boss, their eyes are brimming with happiness.
' Following a rich boss is really different. '
" You already have your weapons. Let's do some cleaning up before dinner. " Adam said as he, Arthus and Jaya took the lead in facing the zombies.
" Let's do this. "
" What should I make for dinner? "
" Hmmm... "
Seeing how carefree the upper echelons are, Gil and others don't feel any pressure in facing these zombies at all.
" [ Summon: Abyssal silver skeletons ] "
" [ Summon: Ancient Devil Bug ] "
